Xiao Yuan Bao was held on the lap by Zhang Qianhu's wife and sat at the table by the window.

Mrs. Zhang touched the thin and soft hair of the little ingot, and said with pity: "Compared to the last time I saw you, it is much cuter again." ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhang." Little Ingot said sweetly.

"It's really cute, and it's sensible," Mrs. Liu, who was opposite Mrs. Zhang, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into the little ingot's hand, "It's so small, I know that I am standing next to the adults and welcoming guests at the door of the Bazhen Building together, which is really amazing." ”

"Who doesn't have a soft heart when they see it, if only I could have a lovely daughter like you." Mrs. Guo picked a bunch of grapes and handed it to the little ingot.

"Thank you, Mrs. Liu, thank you, Mrs. Guo!" Xiao Yuanbao got up from Mrs. Zhang and brought a snack for the two, "Please eat a snack!" ”

"Oh, that's good! Do you remember who we are? Mrs. Liu asked curiously.

"Remember, you are Mrs. Liu, she is Mrs. Guo, she is Mrs. Lu, she is Mrs. Baili......" The little ingots counted one by one, "I have never forgotten it, and I have all remembered it in my mind, because you are all very important guests to the little ingots!" ”

"Hahahaha." The ladies in the audience were amused by her.

This table is full of a cheerful atmosphere.

Mrs. Wang, who was at the next table, came over curiously and greeted, "It's noon soon, it's time to serve the food, right?" I didn't have a good appetite in the morning and didn't eat much, but I was a little hungry at this time. ”

"When I came in, I asked Mrs. Tantai, and Mrs. Tantai said that I was the second-to-last guest to arrive, and the last guest did not come." Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Wang had a good relationship and immediately replied.

"Who's that?"

"Mrs. Qin."

"Then she probably won't come." Madame Wang shook her head.

Xiao Yuanbao looked at her curiously and tilted his head: "Mrs. Wang, can I know, is this why?" Because Mrs. Qin is also a very important guest, yesterday, she spent a lot of silver at the auction, and the bid ranked third. ”

"It's not something that can't be said, most of the ladies here know it," Mrs. Wang touched Xiao Yuanbao's head, "Didn't she keep covering her lips when she came to the auction yesterday?" ”

"Yes." Little Ingot nodded.

She remembered that this Madam Qin was very strange.

At noon, the chef of Bazhen Lou prepared a sumptuous lunch in Xie Yuan, but she didn't eat anything, only drank a bowl of porridge.

Moreover, when she drank porridge, she kept covering her lips with a handkerchief.

"Mrs. Qin has a strange disease, called epistaxis," Mrs. Wang said, "At first, there was just a sore on the lip, but later, the sore was scratched, and the blood immediately stopped, and when it was serious, it shot straight like an arrow!" ”

"Smack, terrible." The other ladies sighed.

"And then?" Little Ingot asked.

"Later, everyone knew that a lot of doctors were hired. I heard that the doctor said that the lips belong to the spleen, and it must be because the spleen is hot and steaming, so the blood on the lips will not stop, so the doctor prescribed her a cool medicine. ”

"Does it work?" Little Ingot asked again.

"Of course it's useless," Mrs. Wang rubbed her hair, "Later, another doctor said that excessive blood flow is easy to hurt yin, so he should give her some medicine to nourish water and nourish yin, and let her take it." ”

"Still doesn't work?" The little ingots tilted their heads.

"Nope."

"Then why don't you use gold sore medicine?"

"Of course! Those surgical hemostatic drugs, she used them all over again! It's useless to be useless! Such a toss, coming and going, a month has passed," Madame Wang sighed, "She is now, she has lost too much blood and is in poor shape. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Wang lowered her voice: "I heard that the doctor has already made it clear to Lord Qin, and it won't be long before this Mrs. Qin will be gone......"

"Ah......" When the ladies heard this, they all leaned back.

"Don't believe it," Madame Wang said cautiously, "Yesterday, she finished painting the portrait in Xie Yuan and took the carriage back to Qin's house, and as soon as she got off the carriage, she fell unconscious. Speaking of which, I still lost too much blood. ”

"I don't know if she's awake now." Mrs. Liu muttered.

"Early this morning, many people spontaneously organized themselves to deliver vegetables, eggs, and rice and noodles outside the gate of Qin's house...... It is said that the Qin family spent 12,000 taels of silver at the auction, and this money can help many poor people to survive this particularly cold autumn and winter, and the outside of the Qin family is as lively as a vegetable market, and the entire Qin family furniture is full of joy," Zhang Qianhu's wife said, "I hope these happy events can give her Chong Chong joy and make her condition better." ”

"I hope so." Everyone nodded.

As he spoke, the ring sounded softly outside.

As soon as everyone turned their heads, they saw Mrs. Qin, who was weak.

Madame Qin, supported by the maid, walked weakly over to this side.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly put down the little ingots and walked over to help Mrs. Qin.

Her relationship with Mrs. Qin is not bad.

"I'm late." Mrs. Qin covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled uncomfortably.

"It's not too late, it's just in time," Madame Wang became attentive, "I'll pour you a cup of tea." Hey, you're getting better? Why don't you stay at home and rest? ”

"Early in the morning, the Qin family was beaming, and there were many ordinary people outside, delivering food and eggs, and our lord was smiling. I thought, this is all the credit of the auction, why should I come over and participate in the celebration banquet of Tianxiang Pavilion. ”

"Mrs. Qin, don't force yourself too much, your body is important." Xiao Yuanbao's big eyes were full of concern.

"Okay." Mrs. Qin gently touched the little ingot's face.

She was weak due to excessive blood loss, and her hands were shockingly cold.

Xiao Yuanbao hurriedly handed the soup woman in his arms to her, and said obediently: "This is for you, you hold your hands warmer." ”

"Thank you." Mrs. Qin nodded slightly, feeling that this child was really well-behaved and sensible, strange and likable.

"Mrs. Qin, take the liberty of asking, have you asked someone to see a doctor recently?" Little Ingot asked cautiously.

Madam Qin shook her head.

It's been a few days.

What kind of doctor do you want?

The famous doctors in Cangzhou have probably been invited once.

"Then I'll bring my master over another day, and I'll ask my master to see you sick." Xiao Yuan Bao said with a serious face.

"Your master?" Mrs. Qin was a little puzzled.

"My mother-in-law's illness was cured by her master," Mrs. Zhang explained, "My mother-in-law was suffering from detoxification at that time, and she was in danger, and the medicine was ineffective, and all the famous doctors said that it was time to prepare for my mother-in-law's death, but I didn't expect that as soon as her master came, my mother-in-law was cured." It can be seen that her master has some ability. ”

"Well, let's talk about it." Mrs. Qin felt a little tired again, lost her interest in speaking, and propped one hand on her head.

"It's really good." Mrs. Zhang added.

"Let's go another day," Mrs. Qin was already a little dazed, "Wait for one day, you will have a free ......"

When the ladies saw that she was really uncomfortable, they stopped talking loudly.

The banquet of Tianxiang Pavilion was divided into male and female guests.

Men eat on the first floor, and women eat on the second floor.

Mrs. Tandai sent someone to assist Kim Shiro in presiding over the overall situation on the first floor, and she herself led someone up to the second floor and was responsible for entertaining the female guests on the second floor.
